Um.... So you want the government to STEP IN AND TAKE OVER ...
Law enforcement is a legitimate government function.

Problem is, they have to keep creating new laws to criminalize activity and then enforce it.

This is true, and a bad thing.

Actually, no it's not. That's an excuse. It would be like saying walking into your house at random is a law enforcement function and for public safety. Are you willing to let cops randomly search homes to see if people are breaking the law? I'd hope not. This is no different. Cops would literally have to go door to door to help people secure their networks. I mean, do they REALLY have this much time to be bothered with this crap? This country has 22,000 murders a year. I think we have bigger problems than wifi piggy backing. I mean, sometimes, stupid is as stupid does (forest gump). If the owners are too dumb to know what they are working with, so be it. The government doesn't need to sit there and waste its time and money helping people figure it out. That's part of being an adult and taking responsibility for one's actions and choices.

I agree. I think it would have been a bad law. All I was pointing out is that enforcement of all laws (including bad ones) is a government thing. I was replying to a statement which indicated Gov. has no place in the matter.
